I have three memories of trees. One was extremely positive; several decades ago, my parents had a very old apple tree in their backyard. One summer, I spent everyday in that tree. I read the entire Hardy Boys and Trixie Belden series in limbs that completely hid me from civilization.
Flash back even from then; the scene from the movie Wizard of Oz where the trees spoke to Judy Garland terrified me!
Present tense: a horrible wind storm pulled a shallow rooted, very large and old willow tree up by its roots in my rural backyard. In that tree, my then 10 year old son spied on a topless sunbather from his treehouse. After it was removed and leveled, it was 2-3 years before I could even look at the blank spot!

Thanks for sharing Auburn! I appreciate it,, and please stop back in again.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful anthropomorphic tree images! They are especially interesting to me. I’m a cartoonist whose comic strip, “Logjam”, features trees as the main characters. View my strip at http://logjamcomic.blogspot.com

I Tweet/rant about politics, sports(INdians/Browns) topics of the day, image, Tumblr pics, lots of stuff and most does not pertain to the Landscape industry.

My Elevator Speech

. . . My hope is to use this site to spread some info about the art and practice of Landscape Design. It is a very misunderstood profession.
I do not cut grass like the next door neighbor's cousin who carries 3 mowers and a blower in the back of his truck.
I will also pass along comments on industry happenings, events, etc., and maybe a few other thoughts, musings, ramblings and adventures going on in my world. After all this is "my" blog.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Questions? Drop me an e-mail.
